Child Support Laws

Child support is calculated by a mathematical formula. If one parent is granted custody of the child, then typically the other parent will have child support payments. Determining child support can be complex, especially if one parent is self-employed or both parents are wage earners. Because this process is complex, it is important you work with a lawyer who is experienced and knowledgeable of law.

Child Custody Disputes

In Child Custody disputes, the court will typically establish a parenting plan that provides for time sharing that will be in the child’s best interest. This will provide the child with shared parenting so that both parents will be responsible for the major decisions which affect a child. In determining the best interest of a child, there is no presumption for or against the father or the mother.

The court should take all relevant and appropriate information into account in an effort to make a fair and reasonable determination of how the child’s best interest will be served based upon the current circumstances.

That said, a prenup that is judged unfair or otherwise fails to meet state requirements will still be set aside.

Because of this, it is imperative that the negotiations and construction of your arrangements are done in a clear manner and that the implications of the contract are obvious to both parties, as well as legally sound. The family law attorneys at the Law Office of J.J. Talbott are experienced in these matters and are happy to help guide you through the drafting of your prenuptial agreement.

As family law and divorce attorneys, we are routinely questioned about the enforceability of Prenuptial Agreements and Marital Settlement Agreements in Florida. We always counsel our clients about the seriousness of these agreements, and the fact that you may be “stuck with” what you agree. While there are situations when these agreements can be set…
